Reflection 2

So today, we had a peer review of our project plan and process with the other class. We had the opportunity to look at other group's work and review them. The other group also reviewed ours and we had mostly positive feedback, so we were glad that our plan and process made sense to others.

I think we have done pretty good in our project so far, and we are almost done with our first outcome which is to raise awareness among the Nexus community by selling t-shirts. Our write up of our project is also pretty detailed and I am not afraid to say that it is much better than the example one. However I think we over analyse situations and so take a long time to come to a decision. So far we are up to date to our gantt chart, but then again our gantt chart has been altered many times to fit with our progress, so I'm not sure if we are actually progressing as well as we should. Plus the upcoming mock exams and other activities, time will be another issue, and we will have to find ways to meet up and continue our project.

Therefore, due to pressing deadline ever nearing, we have decided that we cannot continue with our 2nd outcome, presenting a proposal to the school BOD to install solar panels, as it is right now. We agreed to forgo the meeting with BOD, as their BOD meeting times are unsuitable anyway. We initially wanted to prepare a detailed documentation of our proposal along with a powerpoint when we present our proposal, but we think that the documentation would require too much effort, and there would be no point doing it if we were not going to meet with the BOD. So currently we would be focusing on doing more research on solar panels and creating the presentation as best as we can.
